The Broncos on Wednesday signed cornerback Tyrone Poole, Head Coach Mike Shanahan announced.
Poole is a 13th-year defensive back who has played for Oakland, New England, Denver, Indianapolis and Carolina during his NFL career. Poole, who competed in Houston’s 2007 training camp in his most recent NFL action, entered the league with the Panthers as a first-round, 22nd overall, choice in the 1995 NFL Draft from Fort Valley State University.
In 142 career regular-season games, 112 starts, Poole has totaled 477 tackles, 18 interceptions, six sacks, 121 pass breakups, nine forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries. The defensive back has started at least 12 games in a season seven times and also owns 58 career punt returns for 429 yards.
During his one season with the Broncos in 2002, Poole saw time in all 16 games, including four starts. He finished the year with 51 tackles, one sack, 10 pass breakups and one forced fumble.
Denver also on Wednesday released fourth-year cornerback Christian Morton.
